IHE GROWING CROPS.
Condition Of Cotton and Corn in the Mem
phis District.


The regular monthly cotton crop
report for the Memphis district,
which embraces West Tennessee.
North Mississippi, North Arkansas
and North Alabama, published by
Hill, Fontaine 4 Co., Monday, says:
"rhe iiattering prospects which
were shown in our July report have
been dispeIled. a drouth has pre-
vailed in all the four States, extend
ing from the middle Of July up to the
present, and the result has been
most disastrous to the cotton crop.
What promised six weeks ago to be
the largest yield ever known within
the district has been cut short by
drouth, rust and worms to below an
average cror. In many sections the
yield will fall far short Of last year.
This is particularly true ofTennessrc
and portions of arkansas, Mississippi
and Alabama. 1t is only % per cent,
making the average for the district OF
50s4 per cent. The great damage that
has been. sustained is best shown
when it is stated that there is raised
annually within the Memphis dis
trict 10000 bales of cottou and. the
promised yield is cut short 1880
bales alone within this district.
Picking has commenced in every
section and will be general through
out the district by the 10th Instant.
The season il fully two weeks early,
which, together with the premature
opening OF bolls, was caused by the
drouth. The receipts up to date are
largely in excess of any previous
year. Fs
Corn has suffered, but not to the
extent of cotton. Good crops are re-
ported from Mississippi and Alabnma,
while the yield in Arkansas and Ten
nessee il only AL Avnrnvc.

Park Notes

Capt Louis A. LaGarde has been as
signed to a new field of labor at Fort AS
sinaboine. His transfer is deeply regret
ted by all, both civil and military. His
place as surgeon and physician can
hardly be filled, and his high social quail
tiles and genial, benevolent disposition
have won him wide circle of friends by
whom he will bc long remembered.
A new discovery has been made in the
Yellowstone Park. The air is not only
light and bracing but is most admirably
adapted for telephone purposes \ shot
fired in the upper Park can be heard over
fifty miles away. Even the click Of a
trap is distinctly audible for over twenty
miles. The apprehensile faculties of
Captain NJ Harris are also wonderfully
acute. 1t seems that VIM. James, in or
der to amuse himself at Norris Basin, had
set some traps for beaver. The captain
got wind of it, the wind being an admira-
ble conductor OF sound, and sent two
troopers accompanied by Ed. Wilson to
look up the trapper and the traps. The
result was that on Saturday last Mr.. James
had the honor of military escort as far
as Gardiner, on the north boundary OF the
Park. 1t has not yet transpired what will
be done with Mr.. James property. If his
teams and vehicles are coniscated it will
be pretty costly trapping for him.
When the soldiers started for Norris the
wire parted between the Springs and that
place. After it was reunited the captain
telephoned to Mr.. Kelly, in charge of
Norris hotel, to find out what had been
going on there. He replied that if any
shooting or trapping had been done he had
no knowledge of it, The captain express
ed his astonishment at that, for the matter
had reached his ears twenty-five miles
away. It is said that So worth of beaver
skins will net the Park over 5000. II
wont do to fool with an old *ar horse like

of the contract Of one Green, for sur
vey Of portion Of the Turtle Noun
tain Indian reservation, if found to be
regular, and to order the survey, practi-
cally settles the question Of the right of
settlers to about 100000 acres of valu-
able land now claimed by the Chippe-
was This band now numbers less than
300. Secretary Lamar is of the opinion
that the claim of this small band is too
vague to warrant ousting the 10000
settlers who have located on these lands
or to prevent others from settling there
on. Congress should be callell upon to
settle il. -

refugees, camped on the north fork OF

was raised last winter, says they are the

whence they came, in few weeks. Mr.

will not move a peg unless absolutely
forced to do so.

Ex-Supreme Judge John w. Henry
and State Auditor Walker had an alterca-

o'clock Tuesday morning, at Jefferson
City, Mo-, in which Judge Henry was
shot once in the right arm and again in
the breast, and Walker was severely cut
in the head by a blow from Judge Henry's
cane. The immediate cause of the dis
pute arose from the recent investigation of
the auditor, who accused Henry of hav-
ing been active in circulating charges
against him. These charges recently
published, were that the auditor had sold
his influence in securing appointments
and had been interested in the convict
labor of the state contrary to the law.
